Japanese subs found off Hawaii could have changed World War II

*** begin quote ***

The two Japanese submarines – which were commandeered and scuttled by the US after World War II – were much larger, faster, and stealthier than US subs of the day. One included a float-plane that could attack New York.

*** and ***

Marine researchers have found a pair of Imperial Japanese Navy submarines on the sea floor off Hawaii’s Oahu Island – vessels so advanced for their day they would provide plenty of fodder for a fresh novel by Tom Clancy.

I found this interesting and wonder what could have happened.

Grassroots: Blow up the Senate (not literally)

Grassroots — on the undemocratic nature of the U.S. Senate — is on The Progressive Populist Web site.

It’s time to dismantle the United States Senate and replace it with a more democratic institution.

*** end quote ***

Democracy is mob rule and the anathema to the concept of the republic.

The change from the States selecting Senators allowed the Federal Gooferment to create all sorts of unfunded mandates. We need the tempering of the passions of the day.

You may just get your wish of a more “democratic” state. When secession makes all the states go in their own direction, then you can run your state anyway you want. But, you won’t have the big federal gooferment to loot the productive class for your schemes. You won’t even have the rich to loot in your own state as even more producers vote with their feet.

Freedom and liberty is man’s natural state, because that’s the Plan. No one can drive a man harder than he can himself.

You’ll be like the aristocrats of France that can’t see the revolution coming.

The Dead Old White Guys were pretty smart, but they knew the problems of “democracy”. Too bad we can’t see as well.
